Why So Many Levels?

Coruscant wasn’t built as a planet-wide city overnight - it likely evolved from an already urbanized world sitting at the nexus of major hyperlanes. As the Galactic Capital, its Senate District became the protected ground plane, forcing expansion downward into massive stacked levels. When horizontal growth hit a “threshold cliff,” the city didn’t just build taller - it built entire new decks, creating the layered megacity we know today.
